4. ROBERT FROST: The faithful worker

Robert Frost (1874-1963) was a famous American poet who worked menial odd-jobs while pursuing his love of poetry in his spare time. He went on to win four Pulitzer prizes. I found this quote in The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss, a book that helps people break free from their 9-5 jobs and live life on their terms. The book helped give me the confidence to leave my own 9-5 and try to make it on my own. Tim’s blog is one of my favourites, and is packed with useful tips on life-hacking – whether it be work, travel, language or fitness (and now cooking!).

Lovely work, Gav. Quite a breath of fresh air. The above one TOTALLY strikes a chord. I now work 12hrs a day. Geez. I am a writer and poet, but the corporate work takes ALL my time leaving me with no “life”. Thanks for this one. And yes, all your posters rock. Kepp it up, man!

You are right sir. When I get up in the morning, the first painful thought that comes to my mind is office. It is not the work stress or boredom of office hours that torture me, but rude behavior by some people whom I have to put up troubles me.

gav, nice work, your cartoons are inspiring and a good way to get to know the thoughts and reflections of great minds throughout history, its always so hard to realize whats important when you are used to the rutine, keep up the good work

That’s not how I see it. When you become boss = 7 weeks vacations. Come in and go out when you please. Largest bonuses go to the higher ups, and all the others work their asses off. That’s the reality. Don’t bother arguing because I won’t buy it.
